Monymusk Special Reserve 40°: Description and customer reviews

Monymusk Special Reserve is a blend of rums aged in oak barrels, some of which are 10 years old.

In the pure Jamaican tradition of "heavy rums", the sugar-rich molasses was first fermented for a very long period of 2 to 4 weeks, then distilled in pot stills.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose of this rum immediately stands out from the rest of the range with a certain maturity and wisdom. Balance and complexity are well in place from the outset, and we're about to spend some time together. On the fly, we perceive a little beeswax, slightly oily dried fruits, melted wood, sweet spices, a touch of tar...

Aeration allows a certain sweetness to settle in, something brioche-like, creamy, on a base of soft white vanilla wood. Coconut milk mingles with milk jam, then spreads over banana purée.

The palate is very easy and smooth. The American oak barrel dispenses its inimitable notes of vanilla and toasted coconut, sublimated by a delicate but generous rum. Banana, pineapple and mango are roasted and caramelized with a spicy syrup. We think of a frangipane generously drizzled with rum, a fragrant brioche, and sometimes fruit in brandy.

The finish is greedy and pastry-like, but also retains a certain elegance.

"It's a fine demonstration of savoir-faire to tame the character of Jamaican rum to make an aged rum that is both elegant and gourmet..."
